RestingB1tchFace: Jul 4, 2016; Opinions are like a$$holes....everyone has one....but mines the best!!!

I'd think that they'd sooner call it a draw before playing it on Thursday. Gives very little time for rest before the Bengals game on Saturday and the Bills game on Sunday. Maybe they could push both those games until next Monday or something?

So, 4 years ago I had a friend killed in an explosion. We kept doing our job of evacuating the area, running patients to the hospital, etc., after we were given the go ahead to clock out. That was largely a "need to keep busy or we'll go insane" case and obviously bigger than a football game.

The point I'm getting at is, if this game goes on, it has to be only because of the players wanting it to so they are able to "keep busy". Literally nobody else outside of that locker room should make the decision for them. If they decide to keep playing I absolutely get it, but hope they don't.

Yeah, in 2019 Albert Almora Jr. hit a foul ball that seriously injured a toddler in the stands then told his manager he wanted to stay in the game so he could have something else to think about. He was shaken and barely able to play, but he got through the game.

Modern medicine is amazing and Hamlin had an ambulance get to him immediately, so I really hope he's OK. I went into cardiac arrest in an ER and survived thanks to CPR and oxygen being available right away.

back in 1994 formula one, Senna and another driver died during a race. which was restarted multiple times and ultimately finished.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994_San_Marino_Grand_Prix

closest comparative I can think of

IIRC in either the 60s or 70s Formula 1 had a stretch where it averaged at least one driver death per year.

They used to have basically no safety protocols for safety crews. It led to an incident where a track safety crewman tried to run across the track with a fire extinguisher because a car had crash and was on fire, and somehow there was no yellow flag, and he was hit by a car going full speed and instantly killed, and then the fire extinguisher hit the driver in the on-fire car in the head and nearly decapitated him.

This poo poo sucks. I hope he makes it through

Honestly it didn't even appear that bad in real time, just like typical football.

It has to be the one-in-a-million shot that hit the mark because it wasn't visually terrible, or at least certainly didn't seem that way.

Him standing and falling will haunt me forever though.

(the "being caused by a blow to the chest" thing is something they came up with later so they could pin the very real heart attack he had, live on air, on a heel, who luckily had hit him the week before)

CapnAndy: Feb 27, 2004; Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

I don't think so

but if I'm wrong, they were certainly distanced by enough time to not be a proximate cause, Lawler was back behind the desk and calling a match when he collapsed

I wonder how much info they even have. It's been years since I've been to an NFL game, but I remember often having very reduced internet access because the local cell towers would get overloaded by the added 70kish people. I imagine they'd have to know by now, but they were probably well behind the internet.

The Isle of Mann TT motorcycle race averages more than one death a year, with the worst being 6 deaths in 1970
